Edsel & Eleanor Ford House

Telling the story of Edsel and Eleanor Ford and their family through their historic home on the shores of Lake St. Clair. We offer tours, programs and special events at this National Historic Landmark. Edsel Ford was the son of Henry Ford, and he built his grand home in the style of the Cotswold villages in England. Surrounded by 87 acres of scenic lakeside grounds, the home and landscape are open for tours in all seasons. The home was designed by prominent Detroit architect Albert Kahn and Jens Jensen, one of America's foremost landscape designers and conservationists. It is filled with original antique furnishings, as well as art from the Fords' vast collection. Ford House also hosts popular events, including a Fairy Tale Festival in June, Detroit Symphony concerts in July and holiday tours and events in December.

When in Europe, people enjoy touring the impressive and luxurious residences of kings, queens and famous people...in America it's the homes of super wealthy that offer the alternative.
This home is as close to an English manor as you might be able to get on the North American continent.
To say the least, it is very authentic as the owners, Edsel and Ethel Ford, imported large amounts of the construction material from various century old manors in England.
It is definitely worth the some 13 miles, about 25-30 minutes, drive from downtown Detroit.
It will allow you to peek in to the private lives of the Fords and their genteel lives of splendor.
There is beautiful art, but most are replicas of famous originals that can be viewed at the Detroit Museum of Arts in Detroit.
The expansive grounds are serene and beautiful.
Detroit is alive and well worth a visit.

This is a very nice outdoor mall. Always nicely decorated. Dogs are allowed, so watch your step. They have good bands at night , in the summer. A tree lighting ceremony in the winter (which is far too crowded and borderline dangerous due to the crowd/inability to move). There is a good mix of stores. Our kids like to hang out here with their friends, but it lacks restaurants for the younger crowd. There used to be a Taco Bell, not sure what happened to it.

My wife and I saw a movie at the MJR Theatre here this week. The seats were comfortable but were full of previous patrons’ popcorn. There wasn’t enough room in front of the reclined seat for someone to pass comfortably. Our seats were in the second row which was far too close, our necks were hurting half way through the movie. The worst part was it was far too cold in the theater. Our hands and feet were freezing. We told a young male worker when we walked out, he said “Well it’s cold outside too”. Not very good customer service skills.

Looking to Solve the Case of the Perfect Party?Here's a clue! The Murder Mystery Company is the nation's most popular, interactive, mystery troupe.

Reviewed By johnlh - Southfield, Michigan

We visited the Murder Mystery Company for my husband's birthday. We were supposed to have early access ticket, there was no early access. The doors open and everyone was let in at the same time. We did not op for the gold circle experience. We did see the seating for the gold circle and there weren't any better than the general price seating. Food -The side dishes were heavy on carbs, with a salad that came with one choice of dressing and tasteless green bean with almonds tossed on top. The meat was a small chicken breast with some type of crust on top. Our waiter was aloof, never introduced himself to the people sitting at our table. Never asked if we needed anything or how our dinner was. There were three other couple sitting at our table and they were very nice. We really enjoyed their company. Play - The play required a lot of audience interaction with everyone in the room. As soon as we got our food they were rush us to eat and get up and start asking others in the room for clues. In the middle of our dinner, they told us time was up for eating and we should get up and have interaction. Were they crazy? When dessert was served (ice cream) the same thing happened. Needless, to say that wasn't going to work, ice cream melts. My opinion there was too much interaction with the people in the room, I can see interacting with the people at your table during your meal to discuss clues. But to try to interact with other people clear across the room during your meal was a bit too much. Food? - ok, nothing to write home about. Best part of the evening? - the conversation with the people we dined with. Play? - ok. Would I go again? - no.

Every year we board the Ovation for a charity event and it's always a great experience! From the Captain and deck hands greeting you as you board, to the wait staff that move stealth-like, it's a well oiled machine. Appetizers and dinner selections are delicious, fresh and easy to manage on a moving boat. The bite size desserts top off the food served. Several servers carry them on silver trays and describe each one. The cookie dough one is second favorite but the salted caramel one is to die for! Music is great, bartenders efficient and friendly. Take the ride...you won't be disappointed.

Freedom Hill

Reviewed By Computernana - West Bloomfield, Michigan

I was invited to a lunch bridal shower. The inside of the building is nicely appointed. The room was set up and decorated by the party hostesses. Looked very festive. There were about 70 people. Food provided by Andiamo.
It was a buffet. The hostess sent us table by table so there was no waiting in line. The food was hot and plentiful as the wait staff refilled as needed. We were offered Cuke salad, potato salad, rolls and butter, pasta in a red sauce, quiche, home fries, blintzes, a sausage veggie dish sweet rolls, muffins and fruit.

The food was plentiful and hot. Beverages were offered at the table. I would recommend this venue for any large party.

Super fun outing with three girlfriends! We did the zombie room and while we didn't get out, we found three keys. Highly recommended for groups and families, although some questionable language in clues for those under 18. Zombie room is best with larger sized groups (8-10). Well organized, clean location, and friendly staff!

I took my boys and their friends, ages 10-12 and we had a blast! From solving the puzzles in the lobby to earn extra playing time, to working together to “escape”, we all had a great time.
The room was challenging, but not impossible!
The staff was warm and welcoming! We can’t wait to go back and try another room!

Was lucky enough to be able to join a group visit to the GM Heritage Center, as it's not open to individuals. If you want to get a good idea for what GM has produced over the many years, this is the place to be. Really worth to get a group together for a visit.
